I am here for Friends

About Me

I have a wallet full of mint toothpicks.

My Interests

Music, Kali/Escrima, social justice, coffee and cigarettes, weekend buffet at Ruby's (pound for pound THE best filipino eating establishment in chicago), using my Bow Flex as a coat hanger and unsalted peanuts.

I'd like to meet:

President Bush, but only so I can kick his ass. And while I'm at it, I'd love to go a few rounds with Gloria Macapagal Aroyo as well (i'm sure i can take her).

Music:

Anything with some creative thought put into it. Plus there's this really hot Chicago band I've been hearing about called Bagwis that supposedly ROCKS!!!

Movies:

    American Blue Note Tampopo Zatoichi series Hawk the Slayer The Commitments Seven Samurai The Professional Love Song for Bobby Long

Television:

I prefer books.

Books:

The Red Lion, The Alchemist, Duende, Musashi. lately been diggin the "Samurai detective" series by Laura Joh Rowland. Books by Steve Berry, Michael Curtis Ford, Bernard Cornwell, James Clavell and of course like everyone else on the planet, Dan Brown. Any books about spiritualism and self enlightenment.

Heroes:

Spectraman, Ultraman, Giant Robot, you know the usual. But on a serious note, Andres Bonifacio and all the other brothers and sisters out there who fought or who still fight for social justice, human rights and all people's struggles in the Philippines and all over the world. They are the true heroes!
